CANADA: Politics Week: Trudeau Poised To Survive First Non-Confidence Vote

CANADA
CanadaNorth AmericaBulletGlobalFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionMarkets
  • Justin Trudeau's Liberals are expected to face the first non-confidence motion of the parliamentary session on Wednesday, brought by the Conservatives.
  • Motion was stripped down to “The House has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the Government,” though Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has long said he wants a "carbon tax election" as soon as possible.
  • The NDP who had been propping Trudeau's government up has said it won't vote with the Conservatives, and so has the Bloc Quebecois. All three opposition parties  need to combine to pass a non-confidence motion that would trigger a snap election ahead of one due next fall.
  • House Leader Karina Gould has said there will be seven opposition motions in this session; party leaders agree the chance of an early election has increased.
  • Trudeau saw his second cabinet minister resign in two months, losing his top Quebec deputy. His campaign manager also recently quit.
  • Polling aggregator 338Canada shows Conservatives likely to win a majority government if an election were held now.
  • Sample headlines: The Liberals would do better if they replace their dead man walking (Globe and Mail); Why Canada needs a federal election sooner rather than later (Globe); With the Liberals losing once-safe seats, an election can’t be far off (Globe and Mail).
